Sakura lunged in, her moves are quick and painfull almost like a cat. Not like it matters. Once you see the pink hair, there is a strong chance you won't see anything else after that. More so if pink hair is matched up with silver and blonde. Yes the chances of the rouge ninja Deidara seeing another day as he fought this konoichi were slim, and if she failed, there was her friend the Kyuubi there to finish him off, and if he somehow defeated the annoying kid, there was still Hatake Kakashi and so on, to put it simply Deidara was screwed.
"Zoning out in a fight, are we?" Sakura yelled as she kicked Deidara's feet from under him and he landed on his back with a thud."Big mistake." She said brushing imaginary dust off her shoulder, as to prove some point, she glared at Deidara and for almost a second you could see a faint smirk on her face but it was gone almost as quick as it came. Deidara struggled to get up using a tree to help him regain his balance.
"I dont know what the hell is your problem but I dont think that I did anything to piss Konoha off, un." He said, almost laughing at the audacity of this woman, thinking that he would fall for her mind games, that he didnt really want to play right now. Not like he had a choice, the only idea he had was to come up with an idea about how he was ever going to escape, but as they say an idea of an idea is nothing but what it is...an idea.
"I have some buissness to tend to with you."
"I would think you're buissness would be finished when you killed Sasori, un."
"You reconigze me?"
"Well I do try and learn the face's of the people who kill those close to me, un."
"I did not think criminals were allowed to be 'close' "
"People always said I didn't make a good criminal. I let emotions cloud my judgement, as do you, un."
"What are you talking about?"
"You are contemplating whether it would be right for you to leave me here in the woods to die, but your brain is telling you that once I recover I could easily kill you, Which I can and will, un." finishing with that Deidara took a small wad of clay out of his bag, and crumpling it into his right hand, Sakura watched in disgust as a pink tounge wrapped itself in a repetive motion around the clay as it slowly formed itself into a bird, larger then most the others.
"What do you plan, I've dodged the others what makes you think this one will be any different?"
"I never did say this was for you, did I, un?" Deidara said with a malicously sly smile on his face, Sakura was at a loss either way.
"Wait, If you cooperate with me you might not die, don't you want to live?"
"No I want to die, and take as many people with me, I think now is a good time, un." Deidara said as he let the clay bird fly away in the direction he guessed was Konoha, Sakura looked dumbstruck. She knew of his powers with explosives would it really be any suprise if he could blow up Konoha, he almost blew up Suna not that long ago. "Say, do you know how far we are from Konoha, un?"
" Thirteen mile's, If I had to guess you'd be killing two thousand people." Sakura's voiced with a calm inflection, unbeknownst by most people, chakra can be run through your voice, with practice you can calm people just by talking and with effort put people to sleep, She didn't think he would fall asleep, but maybe if she calmed him down he rethink killing so many innocent people.
"Really? I would've never guessed my dream would be achieved with so much bloodshed, un." Deidara said as he quickly formed another bomb much larger then the last and all the others. Finishing with the task much quicker then expected , he quickly sat it down on the ground, and with a few quick handseals, there was a bright flash that illuminated the whole forest, later people would know that satelites could see the flash from space.
Thinking quickly Sakura lunged it at the bomb, hitting it with so much force it shattered into pieces that you could not easily count, instead of one majestic explosion it was thousands that sparkeled like fireworks in the evening sky, some were shining red others green. Maybe they were only shining that way because of blood loss and she was imagining the whole thing, what if Deidara had succeded and this was heaven. No this was not heaven because the same long bonde haired bastard who caused all this was lying next to her. No this most certainly isn't heaven.
X-----------
Sakura awoke, Familiar white walls, same fan, the only thing foreign to her was the feeling in her right hand, or lack thereof, she wiggiled her fingers and much to her dismay they didnt move, neither did the joints in her wrist. Giving up with that she looked breifly around the room, there was large amounts of flower's and cards surronding her bed, she squinted to make out who the cards were from, and saw Naruto's messy signiture scrawled out on a oarnge card next to a bouqet of Lily's. Glancing to the bed oppisite of her, was a man, about 20 probaby a criminal considering he was hand-cuffed to a bed, For a second she thought she could like her new roomate.
The hands are what made her quickly think otherwise, Those hands are what she hated the most about Deidara. He had talent to boot he could be a legened, he already was, but he was only infamous for being a bastard. He was just a run of the mill terrorist bomber. He could use those hands for great things, he could have been great but now he was going to be killed. Sakura honestly could'nt wait for that day.
A rolling noise startled sakura, she looked back at the direction of Deidara's bed he sat up as much as he could with the restraints by his hand-cuffs.
"I think you're a bitch, un."
"Well I think you're a pyscho."
"Thats an insult, un?"
"I think it is."
"You need to let me out of here, I can kill you, un."
"You cant kill me, They most likely took all the clay out of your system before you woke up, plus youre hand-cuffed to the danm bed."
The door quickly slammed open with a thud, a busty woman that Sakura quickly reconigsed as her sensei stode in and sat her coffe and other things on a small table in the middle of the room. She walked suddendly over to Sakura's chart,and feverently flipped through the many pages that described her occupation, age, and ailments. Tsunade put the chart back on its case on the wall, and with a grim look on her face walked over and sat down next sakura on a little side chair.
"Sakura, can you feel your right arm or forearm?"
"No."
"Sakura, I think It might be best for you to think about an alterneitive lifestyle..."
All she worked on was gone beacuse of this bastard, the years of intense training, she was only nineteen and cripple, And beacuse of someones else's suicide attempt. She didnt deserve this and she knew it, Tsunade knew it, hell Deidara even knew it, But no one wanted to accept it. Sakura wasnt going to let limited feeling in her right arm keep her from being the best Shinobi ever.
"No."
"Sakura, It's best..."
"I said no!" Sakura said cutting her off quickly, turning away rebeliously, daring to challenge her sensei even when she was lying in bed. Deiciding against lying in bed all day while people tryed to pity her, she lifted herself gentlly and on to the floor, only when she did, she fell in a heap on the floor, Sobbing at this point might be natural.
"My life is ruined, I cant feel my arm, and My legs either, And it's all beacuse of him, I want him to die and I want to be the one doing it."
